Description
**VOBIS QUALIFIED**
**SUPER VOBIS QUALIFIED**
**INGLIS RACE SERIES QUALIFIED**
GEMINGA stands at approximately 15.2hh. In her first and only race prep, she broke the 900m Mount Gambier track record at her second start, posted three wide, and had another strong win over the Mount Gambier 900m at her most recent start, on 22nd January 2023. Her most recent jockey and trainer believe she will keep winning races, however we have young horses coming through and offer the lightly-raced Geminga to the market with plenty of upside.
GEMINGA is a tough, honest filly who really wants to run. She is a pleasure to ride and handle, floats and trucks beautifully either with company or on her own. She has been on a treadmill, has worked at the beach and swims. She has been spelling since 23rd January, just outside Warrnambool, and vet checks are welcome.
BREEDING SUMMARY
By STAR TURN, sire of the tough filly STARTANTES. GEMINGA is the second foal of the speedy Poet's Voice mare SEVEN SONNETS, a half-sister to G2 winning sprinter NADEEM, descending from the brilliant G1 Coolmore Classic-winning mare PORTO ROCA, also grand-dam of SILENT SEDITION.
GEMINGA is a full sister to SONNET STAR. Sonnet Star won over $200,000, and ran a .9L 4th in the G3 Red Roses Stakes at Flemington in 2021. She has been retained by Vinery Stud and is currently in foal to EXCEEDANCE. Seven Sonnets has a 2yo filly by Thronum called Belle Sonnet, and she is currently in foal to Fastnet Rock.
Please note, no GST is payable on this sale.
